Being bad never felt so good, in the third novel in Alisha Rai’s sexy Forbidden Hearts series!
Well-behaved women don’t lust after men who love to misbehave.
Heiress Evangeline Chandler knows how to keep a secret . . . like her life-long crush on the tattooed hottie who just happens to be her big brother’s friend. She’s a Chandler, after all, and Chandlers don’t hook up with the help. Then again, they also don’t disobey their fathers and quit their respectable jobs, so good-girl rules may no longer apply.
Gabriel Hunter hides the pain of his past behind a smile, but he can’t hide his sudden attraction to his friend’s sheltered little sister. Eve is far too sweet to accept anything less than forever and there’s no chance of a future between the son of a housekeeper and the town’s resident princess.
When a wedding party forces Eve and Gabe into tight quarters, keeping their hands off each other will be as hard as keeping their clothes on. The need that draws them together is stronger than the forces that should shove them apart . . . but their sparks may not survive the explosion when long-buried secrets are finally unearthed.

“No one knows .”
His tone was bleak, the words tripping over each other.
“No one will,” she whispered, though that wasn’t her place to promise. “I’ll keep it a secret.” His laugh was a harsh bark. “What am I supposed to do? Just trust you?”
Yes.” The adrenaline in her blood spiked, and she leaned in closer, driven to comfort and consume him. “I’m very good at secrets.”
He shook his head. “You don’t— ”
She had no idea what he was going to say, because she settled her lips over his. It was a ridiculous urge, born of panic and desperation and a deep-seated drive to calm him. Their lips fit together perfectly, and she moved them over his, tasting the faint hint of mint in his mouth.
Finally. Finally. Now she knew what kissing would feel like.
Like perfection.
He froze for a second, but then a growl came from deep in his chest. He tightened his hold on her, crushed her close, and kissed her back.
REVIEW
An amazing addition to the series and a fun take on the brother's best friend trope. I love how Alisha Rai has taken these forbidden relationships and given them her own spin making each one just a hint different than the norm.
Hurts to Love You stole my attention for hours, leaving me unable to set it down until I'd read the last word. Eve and Gabe's story was beautifully written and the perfect ending to a wonderful series.
Eve's struggled with showing the world who she is, as an heiress she's got certain expectations placed upon her - she's viewed a certain way and Eve just wants to be who she really is - when she gets a chance she starts letting the real Eve shine through and it's a beautiful thing to see play out. To watch her grow as she not only discovers herself but allows others to see who she is.
Gabe's got his own misconceptions of himself - because of who he is and how different he feels from those he grew up with. He knows he doesn't deserve Eve - he can't belong with her - and yet that doesn't change his feelings for her - his desire.
I truly enjoyed getting to know these two characters and watching as they found their way together - with lots of emotions, amazing growth, and a beautiful story flowing throughout the pages, Hurts to Love will definitely grab your attention and leave you falling in love with these characters and this series.
